Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Ravens, and a C+ to match.

The Ravens did not so much draft Samson Okunlola as overpay for him, 164 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Caleb Banks that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In the 31st overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in slot 63, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick 131 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
A real head-scratcher, Bear Alexander in Round 5, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jordan White
Jordan White in the 172nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Samson Okunlola
A big swing on Samson Okunlola at the 175th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Johntay Cook II
They reached a country mile for Johntay Cook II at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kyron Drones
Value said wait; Kyron Drones in Round 7, Pick 28 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Julien Simon
Julien Simon at slot 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
